"Come to Me, All You Who Are Weary and Burdened" (Matthew 11:28-30)
Matthew 11:28-30 · Berean Standard Bible
To everyone worn down by life, Jesus says, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." He offers not a heavier list of demands but a gentle exchange — his yoke for ours — describing himself as "gentle and humble in heart." For a soul crushed by exhaustion, sadness, or the weight of just holding on, it is an open invitation to lay the burden down and find rest.
28Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
29Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
